This is my first time writing a fic., but flames are accepted . So here 's a brief summary of the story : Ren and Pirika do not know each other at the beginning but later on due to certain financial needs , Pirika enters a engagment with Ren for two years . For what that will ensue , well , you will have to read it for yourself ! This will be quite a pure and typical fairy tale story of Ren and Pirika .

Pirika ---- 16 years old

Ren ---- 16 years old ( but older by a few months than Pirika )

Introductory : Ren is rich , he is studying in Oxford , I know its not logical as Oxford's a university but do just treat it as a academy .

Pirika is poor , studying in Cambridge on a scholarship , but still both Oxford and Cambridge are brilliant schools right ?

So now , let's get on with our story !

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1st Chapter : The stuffy shelter )

The sky was overcast . Pirika was walking home from the bus stop . Ren , on the other hand , just got down from his limosine walking over to the bronze statue as he and Yoh had planned to meet near there . Pirika and Ren were on the same lane , and Pirika just passed Ren at the statue . Suddenly , it begun to rain , first a drizzle , middling rain and then torrential rain . Ren walked quickly to the nearest shelter as if there's nothing happened . The limosine was too far away to have avoided the full on slaught of rain drops . He took out his handphone and phoned Yoh , but Yoh's phone was off .

When it started to drizzle , Pirika quickly searched her bag for that umbrella that her friend gave her for birthday , but she then realised that she had already given it to Oni-chan . She sighed and quickly ran to look for shelter , the rain had got bigger . But the whole place had no shelter only the small one by the statue , but a boy's already there . The rain getting real big now . The big bloobs of rainwater were splashing on Pirika heavily , her vision was getting blurrish .

" Looks like there's no choice now . I'll just have to cramp then . "

Pirika ran over to the shelter where Ren was almost strangling his phone . Pirika stood uncomfortably in the shelter , making herself as small as possible , as with any tiny movement she would be nudging the angry stranger . Ren was still busy phoning , ignoring Pirika's presence . Pirika looked up to see Ren , curious . Purple hair , strange golden eyes , and he exuded a whole atmosphere of demand . Hmmm , queer combination . Pirika looked off , not interested to know more -- he was just a stranger , and Ren was still completely seemingly ignorant .

The rain had slowly lessened and stopped . Pirika stepped out of the shelter , looked at the stranger once more and continued on . Ren looked on as the light blue-haired girl walked off , thinking that she was unusual , as most girls would just flung themselves at the sight of him . But though so , she was just a stranger and soon , the memory was just a speck at the back of his brain .

( Ren P.OV )

I was at home wiping my hair dry from that damned rain . Later , my mom walked in and declared an utterly unpleasing news .

" Ren , your father and I decided to hold an engagment campaign , which is that girls of your age will stay temporarily married with you for two years . After that you will have to decide whether you still want to be with her . Don't worry our taste won't be wrong . "

" What ! I have of NO wish to be in a relationship a skimpy , frail girl . So NO way will I agree with it ."

" However so , we've already started the campaign and you know your father would be furious , if you don't go along with it ."

" I don't care what that old geezer says . I will not fall in lovewith whichever girl you foist me with . "

Ran Tao casually ignored that sentence ...

" Don't worry she'll be very nice and I'm sure you'll like her . Be nice to her , okay Ren ."

" Oh yes , and your wife will be here by next friday . You'll be staying in a different house then . Take care of yourself okay ? You're a big boy now . "

Mom scrambled up my hair , smiling she walked away .

I clenched my fists . That girl will not have any kind of thing to do with me .

" Dumb engagements " I muttered under my breath and went to take a shower .

( Pirika P.O.V )

It was already night time when I reached home . Oni-chan was not home yet , surprisingly so . Then I found a messly scribbled note pasted on the television screen .

Dear Pirika ,

I out with my friends at the pub so don't worry . And also don't study too hard , it bad for health , okay ?

Oni-chan

I placed the note on the table and sighed .

"Oni-chan always got drunk at the pub , I better go take him back later . Now , I have to bathe " I thought

I bathed promptly , and used as little soap as possible . Oni-chan had been working very hard to support this household . But it is still just barely sufficient to foot the household bills . I have to work too , though my scholarship pays my entire school fees till I graduate , but food and necessity products still require money too. Though so , I'm happy with my life . I've got Oni-chan , a house and proper education , that is blissfully enough .

I took my purse and the keys and went to find Oni-chan . ( Now , picture this in your mind . Horo Horo always goes to the same pub , no matter what . Its his favourite hangout . Okay ? )

( Normal P.OV )

Horo Horo was in the pub with his friends , they were drinking and conversing . Talking about the current events , about their lifes .

Pirika walked into the pub .( Yah , I know its illogical . An underage is allowed but just think of this as a fairy tale where unusual things are absolutely expected )

Jave , one of Horo's friends , said : " Guys , have you heard the news that the Tao estates recently drew up an engagement campaign for the heir , Tao Ren . And they're offering a hefty sum of $100,000 (I don't know yen so this is just a you-get-what-I-mean sum of money) , every single month ! I could be a millionaire by just 10 months ! Wow . " eyebrows raised .

Timothy , another friend of Horo's , added : " But the girl has to be with the Tao with for 2 years , in the same house and room . I heard that the guy , Tao Ren is very demanding . Tough time for the girl . "

Pirika heard all of this as she paced in and decided to take part in it .

When Pirika and Horo Horo reached home , Pirika suggested of her entering the engagement campaign . But Horo Horo did not agree .

" Oni-chan , can I take part in the Tao campaign ? It can help to solve our financial problems ! "

" Pirika , I don't want you to go worrying about these bills okay ? You've got to be with this guy for two whole years . I don't want you to force yourself into a relationship just for money."

" But Oni-chan ... "

Even though so , Pirika signed up for the campaign .
